President and Mrs. Bush Greet the Obamas at the White House

AP: President-elect Obama and his wife, Michelle, have arrived at the White House for a visit, their first since Obama's landslide election victory. President Bush and first lady Laura Bush were at the South Portico of the White House to greet the Obamas on a sunny fall day with moderate temperatures and colorful—but fading—autumn leaves.

Do they both shop at the same tie store? They look like twins!!!

First press conference – LATE!

Meeting with the President – ON TIME!

He should take Bush’s example and learn: When you are late for arrival, meetings or appointments, IT SHOWS A LACK OF RESPECT FOR THE OTHER INDIVIDUALS INVOLVED!

Michelle looks like a San Francisco drag. NMP (Not My President) Obama from here on out. I have never seen a more perfect pair of LOSER married folks: NMP and that Aunt Esther critter.

Well, we’re movin’ on up,
To the white house.
To the government housing in the sky.
Movin’ on up,
To the white house.
We’re finally on our way with our lies.

There will be fishes fryin’ in the kitchen;
Chicken burn’n on the grill.
Took a whole lotta lyin’,
To control capitol hill.
Now we’re runnin’ with the top shelf,
Gettin’ our turn at bat.
Four years from now, it will all be a mess,
As long as we get what’s ours, there ain’t nothin wrong with that.

Well we’re movin on up,
To the white house.
To that government housing in the sky.
Movin’ on up,
To the white house..
We’re finally on our way wit our lies.

A proud moment in American political history. Barack and Michelle both look awesome and very presidential!

Larse   November 10th, 2008 - 3:36 pm

It’s wonderful to see America’s Presidents together!

I would not be surprised at all to someday find out the Bush voted for change too ;)

Bush and Obama can do a lot of good together and being around and helping Obama is golden in helping the Bush Legacy. that is not a small priority for them these days.

Bush no longer has to answer or listen to anybody but the calender on the wall. We might find the the ‘real’ Bush is not such a bad guy after all. Just had a job he was not meant for.

what’s the use of a drug war, substandard education, and good old american racism, if we STILL end up with a black president?

ahhhhhhhhrg!

Jo Lynn   November 10th, 2008 - 4:48 pm

Some of you are sick rascists. Sorry inbred hillbillies but he is your President. Thank God the Wasilla hillbillies who represent you did not get in. I do not want my daughter having that little girl who can’t keep her legs closed as a role model. President Barack Obama and his family are the TRUE example of the American family. Beautiful, intelligent and spiritually intact. And thank God all white people are not ignorant.

to: Jo Lynn, I concur. You took the words out of my mouth. It’s so disheartening to read so many racist, ignorant comments. Just goes to show how deep rooted racism is. That kind of anger and hatred has to eat at your insides. Michelle and Obama are an educated, striking looking couple. Thank God not all Americans are ignorant like a lot of people on this site.

You really need to watch who you call a Loser.
I hope I do not need to explain it — its painfully obvious.

Your stupid comments about our new President and our new First Lady are not only unkind and racist — they are unamerican.

We fight and die in other countries for this freedom…..today the transfer of power began and it happened peacefully as our founding fathers had hoped…..I am sure you (as I) pray for this country to be blessed by God.

If you support this country how is the new President Elect not your President or as you so cleverly said (NMP)? How do you support a country and spit on it at the same time? It is one thing to disagree with politics–it is quite another to say he is not your President Elect.

It is pretty clear sir that you have issues with race. If a black man died in WWI, WWII, Korea, Viet Nam, Gulf War or Iraq — does that mean that he is not Your Soldier (NYS)?

Just curious I guess….

I hope Pres Bush doesn’t clean out the furniture like Pres Clinton did.

evil grik November 10th, 2008 – 7:41 pm

President Clinton never took anything from the Whitehouse. Some of his staff made a couple of unfortunate choices but you can hardly blame him for that.

I have no worries that the Bushes will take anything that does not belong to them. I’m sure Mrs. Bush would not allow it.

[...] President and Mrs. Bush Greet the Obamas at the White House [...]

Steve F   November 10th, 2008 - 8:20 pm

Yeah susan your not curious just stupid like you Dems have treated Bush & Co for the last eight years. You didn’t think we would forget did you? Remember sweet cheeks NMP is HALF White! So where do you get the “Black crap”? I could care less his color it is his Racist Rev Wright for 20 yrs that you seem to overlook..speaking of racism!

Elephant Man   November 10th, 2008 - 8:59 pm

Does anyone know if the watermelons will be grown on the south lawn or another part of the white house?

“…President Barack Obama and his family are the TRUE example of the American family. Beautiful, intelligent and spiritually intact.”

(1.) Barack Obama is not the President, he’s the “President-elect” — no one is “President” until they receive the Oath of Office;

(2.) Barack/Barry and wife, Michelle, are not, by miles, any example of any average or decent American family; most of us don’t pal around with terrorists and use crack cocaine and attend weekly indoctrinations in racist “theology” but Barack and wife have and do;

and,

(3.) Neither of these two (Barry/Barack and Michelle) are “beautiful” — if either or both had exemplary character and records of behavior, I’d rethink that, but, with the record and behaviors of both, both are entirely unattractive as human beings.

Harry L   November 10th, 2008 - 10:31 pm

They are all thugs. We need Sarah to come and clean up the White House. None of those criminals are Christians, they will rot in hell and their teeth will turn to broccoli.

Soon it will be winter and there will be snow all the way from Alaska to DC. Todd and Sarah will come on their snowmobile and rescue us from this Godless nightmare I am sure of it. Pray for the destruction of Liberals and Compassionate Conservatives.

as for your comments …you are a classless pig!

By the way for 8 years we have listened to you libs trash our president..I just pray Obama does not have to face a 9/11 event or a Katrina…it would truly devistate this great country.

claspur   November 11th, 2008 - 7:03 am

….and that Aunt Ester critter…..ROTFLMFAO!

David   November 11th, 2008 - 8:46 am

Get use to the comments, that’s what you liberals were like from Bush’s first day and your treatment of Palin was vicious
I wonder what he will be like in this crisis Biden predicted…..

Ashamed   November 11th, 2008 - 10:39 am

Obama is a DISGRACE, leaking CONFIDENTIAL details of his meeting. His is so OUT OF PLACE as President it borders on the absurd.
I hope you MORONS that voted for him are happy
Webster is our new President.

Mark the Qeeur   November 11th, 2008 - 11:27 am

Screw you Liberals and your president. Pay back time is here.

Martin King Luther   November 11th, 2008 - 11:29 am

It has nothing to do with him being black, it’s fact that he hates America and is a Commie, along with his wife.

Martin King Luther   November 11th, 2008 - 11:33 am

Left out the or a take your choice.
